The pics that you have of all the silver dash parts pulled out. How hard was that to do. I cant stand the look of it and was curious how hard it is to do and what prep work you did for painting the plastic. Love the new look that it gives the car

are you trying to figure out how to remove it or what?
If so then the easiest way i've found it to remove the wheel well liner and you can get to the back of it from there. I know it has some pressure clips to release from behind and i'm pretty sure double sided tape on it as well.

as far as painting, you can use krylon fusion on it. made for plastic and no prep/primer needed. just clean it and paint.

The chrome by the door is what I'm talking about. I'm wanting to dechrome the car completely and go with a black/red theme and I'm considering painting them or removing. Not sure yet. Will removing them leave any blemishes on the car? Holes, etc.

yes. there are holes in the fender for where it clips in. if you want to remove them completely then it would be a good idea to just get a set of black fenders from a 09-11 and swap them. otherwise just pull them off and paint and put back on.
